Amanda Mitchell Gross, DDS, MS
Dr. Gross was born and raised in El Paso, TX. No stranger to Las Cruces, she spent many days of her formative years on the gymnastics teams at Gym Magic and Cruces Gymnastics. Upon high school graduation, she ventured up to Nashville, Tennessee to continue her education. Dr. Gross graduated Summa Cum Laude from Vanderbilt University, double majoring in flute musical arts and biology while trading her gymnastics career for cheerleading. She then followed her father’s footsteps and graduated with her Doctor of Dental Surgery with highest honors at the University of Texas Health San Antonio School of Dentistry. From there, Dr. Gross went on to study orthodontics at Texas A&M College of Dentistry.
Dr. Gross is a board-certified orthodontist, which is a distinction that only half of all orthodontists in the United States have obtained. Dr. Gross has received many awards during her dental and orthodontic career, including being named the 2021 Eugene L. Gottlieb JCO Student of the Year and the 2022 Harry Sicher Research Award Winner.
